GOCE July 2013 news report

  • Participation: Out of 30 people who have signed up for this drive so far, 18 have participated. If you have signed up for the drive but have not yet participated, it isn't too late. If you haven't signed up for the drive, sign up now!
 
  • Progress report: Thus far we have reduced the number of May/June 2012 articles to just 124 articles, so we're on the right track. Unfortunately, for the first time in GOCE history, the number of articles in the backlog has actually gone up during this drive. While all participants are currently doing a fine job, we just don't have as many of them as we have had in the past. We have over 500 editors on our mailing list, but only 18 editors who have done a copy edit for the drive. If you're receiving this newsletter, it's because you have an interest in copy editing. Join the drive! Even if you only copy edit one article, it helps. Imagine how much progress we could make if everyone chipped in just one article.

Take a look at these contribs. Remind you of anyone, or no? DoriSmith may have some useful thoughts as well. LadyofShalott 02:24, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Española history, UNM sports, and Susana Martinez... I say yes. This also appears to clearly be the same person as 174.50.71.19, who I reported in the most recent SPI. For instance the image of Frank Bond was uploaded by Amy russ 12 and then added to the Española article by the IP. Camerafiend (talk) 21:02, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yep, and look at this: Curtis Dennis. It may be time for yet another SPI; even if we can't tie them technically to any of the prior accounts, this looks like current socking. That, the loud quacking and his history of multiple socks at once ought to be enough for CU. LadyofShalott 04:13, 31 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

GOCE December 2013 Blitz wrap-up and January Drive invitation

edit
December Notes from the Guild of Copy Editors
 

The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page!

The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there!

 

Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December. For complete information, please have a look at the election page.
